The Human Dimensions of Nation Making
Author: James Kirby Martin
Publisher: Wisconsin Historical Society Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
This collection of original essays about the early years of the American experience has been prepared to honor Professor Merrill Jensen, who has tirelessly served his craft of history in distinguished fashion during a long and admirable career, both as a publishing scholar and as a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin. Each of the essays stands as an individual entity and advances historical knowledge. Two introductory pieces serve to place Merrill Jensen among his peers and evaluate the impact of his scholarship on dominant historical themes. Eleven other research essays touch on issues as various as the characteristics of imperial administrators in British North America during the colonial years, the role of courts in facilitating the outbreak of the American Revolution, the impact of sectional forces on Revolutionary politics, and the failure to provide for an effective militia system in post-revolutionary America. Prepared by Merrill Jensen s former students, the essays represent a rich mixture of topical, methodological and analytical concerns. Through the years Professor Jensen has encouraged such diversity. Setting his students to reading primary sources, he taught them that fresh insights would result from naked exposure to the sources. Through his own writing, he demonstrated to them and to others that human relationships were complex and, above all else, that human beings rather than mindless forces were at the heart of the many dimensions of history. It is in this spirit that these essays have been prepared and presented to a foremost scholar of the era of the American Revolution. Distributed for the Wisconsin Historical Society Press"

ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
This book is the engrossing and little-known story of a powerful circle of men- the wing of the Federalist party led by Alexander Hamilton- who won a bitter fight for a national army, but divided the country and destroyed their own party in the process. Here is history that raises questions about the power and influence of militarism in American politics: Did Alexander Hamilton intentionally provoke the Whiskey Rebellion to prove the need for a federal army? Were the Federalists prepared to use military force to prevent Thomas Jefferson from becoming President in 1800? Were these men militarists? Were they after a national army in order to maintain their own power? Unfolding the critical events of America's first two decades of Independence- the incredible Newburgh Conspiracy of 1783, the first Constitutional debates over "national security," Shay's Rebellion, the Indian War campaigns of "Mad Anthony" Wayne, the Quasi-War with the French- this timely book chronicles the origins of American militarism, and the serious threat it posed to the democratic ideals of the young American nation. -- from Book Jacket.
